The system forced me to be emperor

And as the Great Xia soldiers and horses gathered in front of Qinling Pass, Qin's dispatch of troops proved this conjecture!

The soldiers and horses of the Qin State did not kill them, but chose to set up three complete defense lines in the north, east and south to welcome the arrival of the soldiers and horses of the Great Xia. Moreover, the State of Qin began to conscription forcibly, making the 120 million troops reach 260 million. That's why it was possible to form three defensive lines, involving fifteen counties.

The soldiers and horses of the Great Xia had to tear through these three lines of defense before they could go straight to the capital of Qin. Therefore, how the soldiers and horses of the Eight Routes marched was the first task.

As a general of soldiers and horses, Han Xin put forward his battle plan. He drew eight routes on the map, just like what Meng Tian told Qin Zheng.

And fully avoid the dangerous terrain along the way, to avoid being used by the Qin army, and each way also takes advantage of the advantages of the generals.

For example, Dian Wei and Li Cunxiao are super generals, and their soldiers and horses are brave and good at fighting, so let them walk in the middle, next to Xiao Rui's driver, so as to show their mighty morale.

Chen Qingzhi is good at changing, and Yue Fei is a master of the art of war, so let them take the southernmost and northernmost routes, the longest distance, and it is easier for them to use them.

Another example is Gan Ning's soldiers and horses, let him take the route with more developed waterways, and Yang Youji's soldiers and horses take a relatively open area, which can highlight the strength of the bow and crossbow.

And so on, play to their strengths.

After Han Xin introduced his thinking, he looked at Xiao Rui and said, "Your Majesty, these are just my humble ministers' opinions. If there is something that is not well thought out, I hope that Your Majesty and a few military advisers can bring it up and make changes and adjustments."

Xiao Rui looked at Zhang Liang, Jia Xu, and Xiao He, and said with a smile: "Although I am the imperial conscript, I specialize in art, and the matter of leading troops to fight is still up to you. Han Xin has already expressed his thoughts, you see Is there anything lacking, or something that needs to be added? Speak freely!"

Zhang Liang, Jia Xu and Xiao He looked at each other.

Seeing Jia Xu's eyes, Zhang Liang took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, Han Xin's distribution is very reasonable. It not only avoids the dangerous terrain, but also takes advantage of the advantages of the generals. I don't have any objections. Your Majesty's personal conquest is a matter of scale." In a huge national war, the combined strength of the two countries exceeds 300 million, and the area involved is very large. The real test is the strength of the troops, supply capabilities, and logistics capabilities. In this battle, intrigues can be regarded as tricks. I have no opinion on the plan, but Wei Chen would like to raise three other things."

"The first thing is to attack the heart since ancient times. Now Qin's hearts are floating. The Mo family and the Mo organization have been hiding in the capital of Qin for so long. The assassination of Li Si has already shown their existence. Next, they can completely launch the assassination plan against Qin. The high-ranking officials and the prefects of the counties. And they also want to create rumors and public opinions, which will make the people of Qin even more panic."

"The second thing is that the weather has turned cold now, and the cold will intensify in the future, so Wei Chen suggested that the speed of the Eighth Route Army should not be too impatient, and focus on stability. Just now Wei Chen said that this battle, The competition is about combat power and logistical supplies. Our Daxia has a wealth of supplies, whether it is food or military pay, they are all ready to support long-term combat. But Qin has no such savings. Make the time longer, when The temperature of the sky and the earth has dropped sharply, and the soldiers of the Great Xia have cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold. When the clothes of the Qin army are thin, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced! This is the time bestowed by God, if it is not used, it will be wasted."

"The third thing is to instill the benevolent government of Daxia in the people of Qin. The people are unwilling to be subjugated slaves and love their country, but they love their families and their lives more. Qin's policies have seriously exploited Qin. The people of the country should let them know about Daxia. At the beginning, Qinzheng migrated many Qin people from Qin State in order to settle the situation in Dongqi area. Now these Qin people have settled down in Dongqi area and have received Daxia's benevolent government. Don't let them go back to Qin, even if they are driven away, they won't go. And the relatives and friends of these Qin people are all in Qindu. You can let them contact those people and let them introduce Daxia. It's been a long time. , there will be unexpected benefits..."

Zhang Liang talked gracefully, and after a few words, everyone in the tent gave a thumbs up.

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Killing people and killing people, Qin can be established on the basis of the people, and it can also be destroyed in the disappointment of the people. Zifang, just do as you want, these three things can speed up the destruction of Qin. "

"My minister understands." Zhang Liang bowed his hands to receive the order.

Xiao Rui looked at Jia Xu again, and said with a smile, "Mr. Wen He, if you have any good ideas, don't hide them."

Jia Xu caressed his beard and smiled: "Your Majesty, I dare not hide it privately, Zifang has already considered everything that needs to be considered, and I can at most add one thing."

"Tell me!" Xiao Rui knew very well that Jia Xu, the poisonous man, was very powerful, Zhang Liang's strategy was the right way, and Jia Xu was absolutely cunning.

Jia Xu then said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the letter Chuan Jianguo sent for Lai Ai? Lai Ai asked us to assassinate Li Si! I thought that Lai Ai died in the fire, but I didn't expect to play a good trick to escape the shell! He The first time he appeared, he also revealed a lot of important details. After tracing the details, it was found that he was staying in the Mingxin Palace, mixing with the Queen Mother Zhao Jisi, and he was highly suspicious that the posthumous son of Emperor Wu of Qin in Zhao Ji's stomach, It is likely to be the seed of Lai Ai! So I feel that Lai Ai, an unintentional pawn, can be put to good use."

When Xiao Rui heard about it, he became more interested, and asked, "Mr. Wen He thinks how to use it?"

Jia Xu said: "If the child in Zhao Ji's womb is really Lai Ai's, then Lai Ai and Zhao Ji have even bigger plans. They probably want to harm Qin Zheng in the future and let their own child become the throne. But the situation in Qin is very dangerous now. When it comes to upgrading, life and death are possible. Lao Ai is not stupid, and knows her own situation. Therefore, Weichen suggested to send someone to contact Lao Ai immediately, and ask Eunuch Wang to write a letter himself, so that he can know it for his benefit! This person has no advantage, he knows how to examine Duodu best, and the situation will let him make a choice."

As expected of Jia Xu, he directly drew his salary from the bottom of the pot.

"Mr. Wen He's method is very interesting and can be operated well." Xiao Rui nodded.

Jia Xu said again: "Your Majesty, your Majesty has to decide on the conditions to lure Lai Ai!"

Xiao Rui asked back: "What conditions do you want to use to lure him?"

Jia Xu smiled and said: "The position of Marquis!"

"What?" Everyone was in an uproar.

Xiao Rui was also taken aback, and it's no wonder everyone was surprised. They have not won the title of marquis until now. Han Xin was conferred the title of Huaiyin Bo, and Yue Fei, Li Cunxiao and others were all viscounts.Now Jia Xu opened his mouth, and even used the position of marquis to lure Lao Ai.

"Your Majesty, you can satisfy Lai Ai's appetite with big profits. Of course, the title of Marquis is not so easy to get. If he can assassinate Emperor Qin, the title of Marquis is not very important." Jia Xu said.

Xiao Rui nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Wen He is right. If he can really kill Qin Zheng, I will not be stingy with the position of Marquis. I will handle this matter according to your wishes. Da Zhi, you will personally to write this letter."

"Your servant understands." Wang Dazhi immediately accepted the decree, and he decided to write this letter carefully. After all, Lao Ai is also a cousin. If he can be granted the title of Marquis, then his deceased parents will also be able to smile.

It's just that I didn't expect this kid to be so fierce that he got the Queen of Qin pregnant.

Now that the route has been agreed upon, Xiao Rui made the final arrangement: "Tomorrow, the three armies will be rewarded, and the day after tomorrow we will go out to attack. All generals, please work hard. I promise you that you will become Marquises before Lai Ai, so don't belittle yourself."

These loyal people who came down are the pillars of Great Xia, and Xiao Rui will not be stingy with the title of marquis, or even crown them kings.

Let them be famous in history, let them be named princes and ministers, this is what they deserve!

Chapter 668: Time of day: Who will freeze first when the weather is cold?

The plan is made, and the next step is to start the attack.

The next day, there was a feast before dispatching troops, rewarding the whole army, eating good wine and good food, so that the soldiers could relax.

On the second day, the army set out from the three great passes, divided into eight groups, and entered the capital of Qin.

Xiao Rui led the expedition in person and followed Han Xin on the middle road.That is to go directly to the capital of Qin from Zhongting Pass, passing through six counties, and the distance is nearly [-] miles, which is the shortest distance.For example, Chen Qingzhi and Yue Fei need to attack from a farther place, they need to detour first, and the distance is longer.However, their marching speed is faster, so regardless of the battle, the time spent is about the same.

This time, Gongsun Ye was also accompanying him, and it was only by his falcons that he could pass the news that he could grasp the situation of the other seven armies as quickly as possible.

Xiao Rui's personal expedition, naturally he does not need to lead troops to kill the enemy, he sits in the rear, Han Xin leads the troops in the front, just report to Xiao Rui in case of war, and Han Xin is solely responsible for how to fight against the enemy.

This time to reach the capital of Qin, Xiao Rui's middle army had to pass through six counties. From east to west, they were Shanxi County, Yangyang County, Shannan County, Fenglin County, Heishui County, and Xianyang County.

Now that you leave the Atrium Pass, you are Shanxi County of the Qin State. However, the Atrium Pass was controlled by the State of Yan in the past, and the soldiers of the State of Yan would often leave the pass and enter the territory of the State of Qin to have fun when they were free. Therefore, there are no Qin people living in the territory of the hundred miles outside the pass. , afraid of being murdered by Yan soldiers.

Therefore, in the first three days, the army did not encounter any enemy obstacles during its march, and slowly began to penetrate into Shanxi County.

Before leaving, it had been discussed that in order to deal with the soldiers and horses of Daxia, Qin had set up three lines of defense. For the army in the middle, these three lines of defense were respectively set up in Shanxi County, Yangyang County, and Fenglin County. Daxia's troops were divided into eight groups, and his army was also allocated, but the information was limited, and the strength of each line of defense could not be investigated yet.

However, from a conventional point of view, the army in the middle road was personally conscripted by Xiao Rui, with a strength of 40, which is of great significance. Therefore, there are not a few troops in Qin State to block the army in the middle road. The strength of each of these three lines of defense will not be less than 30. .

Although the specific strength of the Qin State cannot be found out, the commander of the Qin State who is facing the army in the middle can be found out.

The commander-in-chief of the first line of defense is named Liu Shuai. Although he is not the Bai family and the Meng family, he is the son-in-law of the Bai family and the uncle of Bai Meng. A veteran who leads troops well and runs the army strictly.Meng Tian asked him to garrison Shanxi County as the first barrier against the army in the middle, so he saw his ability and means.

The commander-in-chief of the second line of defense is called Zhang Chao, who has nothing to do with the Bai family and the Meng family. He has risen little by little with his military exploits and has outstanding abilities, so he should not be underestimated.

As for the commander of the third line of defense, it is none other than Meng Tian himself.

As for the generals of the Qin State who blocked the other seven routes of soldiers and horses, they were all good generals of the Qin State.

On the fifth day of the march, the army on the middle road encountered a prefectural city in Shanxi County, named Miaoshan Mansion. This prefectural city blocked the way, so it was natural to take it down. However, this prefectural city is small in scale and has a population of less than 40. The opponent with an army of [-], now that the army is overwhelming, they did not attack at all, so they took this place.

In fact, as early as the news that Daxia was going to attack Qin State spread, the people in the eastern counties of Qin State could escape, and those who could not escape guarded their homes.

The Qin State also had no troops stationed in the various prefectures, so it could only give up and concentrate its troops to protect important positions.

For example, Liu Shuai is the first line of defense in Shanxi County. He relies on the county town of Shanxi County, and forms a defense line with the two prefectural cities next to the county town, becoming a stumbling block for the army in the middle.
